Quantum theory and Einstein's theory of general relativity are two of the greatest successes in modern physics. Each works ...

The rapid expansion of the universe has been the most perplexing enigma in physics. To unravel this cosmic puzzle, scientists turn to the fundamental laws of physics, including Albert Einstein's ...

A unified Theory Of Everything is the holy grail of physics, but gravity refuses to play ball. Now, a newly proposed theory attempts to unify Einstein’s theory of gravity with quantum mechanics – and ...

Einstein’s theory of gravity — general relativity — has been very successful for more than a century. However, it has theoretical shortcomings. This is not surprising: the theory predicts its own ...

110 years ago today, Albert Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, which redefined the relationship between matter and gravity. Suddenly, our mysterious universe made a little more sense ...

The image depicts an experiment in which heavy particles(illustrated as the moon), cause an interference pattern (a quantum effect), while also bendingspacetime. The ...

It’s official: Antimatter falls down, not up. In a first-of-its-kind experiment, scientists dropped antihydrogen atoms and watched them fall, showing that gravity attracts antimatter toward Earth, ...

A bizarre "cosmic glitch" in the theory of how the gravity of the universe works may have been mended. The strange glitch in Einstein's description of gravity in his theory of general relativity may ...

Astronomers have finally watched a black hole do something Albert Einstein only described on paper: twist the very fabric of ...

In a bold step toward solving one of science’s most puzzling problems, researchers have proposed a new way to bring gravity into the same mathematical language as the other forces of nature. While the ...

This week, an international team of more than 160 astronomers working with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope released three preprint papers submitted to The Astrophysical Journal unveiling the most ...

(KXAN) — Solar eclipses are an amazing sight that has inspired some amazing science. The upcoming April 8 eclipse will provide numerous opportunities for professional and amateur scientists, but those ...
